PRINCE Harry may have also dated an English model around the time he then attempted to win over US actress Meghan Markle, it has been revealed.

It is not clear if the two definitely overlapped, but the 32-year-old Prince is said to have also gone on dates with Burberry model Sarah Ann Macklin around the months he was wooing his current love interest.

“David Gandy knew that Harry was pursuing her and tried to get her back. At one point she had the country’s most famous male model and a prince vying for her affection, and the novelty was not lost on her.”

Friends said the pair were never really on the same wavelength and the relationship ended before Harry went to Africa for a month.

He said: “If, or when, I do find a girlfriend, I will do my utmost...to ensure that me and her can get to the point where we’re actually comfortable with each other before the massive invasion that is inevitably going to happen into her privacy."
